The rollercoaster life story of Chol Soo Lee, a Korean immigrant wrongfully convicted of murder.
Join WXXI for a special screening and discussion of Free Chol Soo Lee. Sentenced to life for a 1973 San Francisco murder, Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee was set free after a pan-Asian solidarity movement, which included Korean, Japanese, and Chinese Americans, helped to overturn his conviction. After 10 years of fighting for his life inside California state prisons, Lee found himself in a new fight to rise to the expectations of the people who believed in him.
